At dawn on November 20th, war clouds were gathering over the Strait of Malacca. Two unexpected situations occurred in succession, which changed Tang Qiuli's overall campaign deployment. The Japanese division's fleet became a huge magnet, attracting several

On the other hand, the Japanese aviation forces, a small-scale battle limited to the fleet passing through the Strait of Malacca, became the largest sea-air battle in the South Pacific.

The Japanese army successively invested aviation and naval forces, which raised Tang Qiuli's inner fighting spirit. The unknown Japanese fleet was not scary. If they wanted to rush to the Malacca Strait theater, they would not have enough time to dispatch.

The carrier-based aircraft formation is the longest hand that can be extended, so let's have a big fight and consume the Japanese aviation and carrier-based aircraft to the maximum extent.

Knowing that the fleet was progressing smoothly, Tang Qiuli focused on the first echelon of fighter jets commanded by Le Yiqin. He picked up the intercom, "Le Yiqin, where is the current position of your fleet? Is it consistent with the Japanese fleet?"

encounter?"

Le Yiqin returned: "Report to the division commander, the radar shows that in about ten minutes, our fleet will encounter the Japanese fleet from Taiwan. There are about 350 Japanese fighter jets, which is equivalent to the strength of our fleet. Please give me instructions.

Wait, can the second echelon fighter group be put into air combat?"

Tang Qiuli understood Le Yiqin's intention. The two echelons of fighter jets included all the forces of the first and second groups flying in the south. They could form an absolute advantage over the Japanese fighter groups coming from the direction of Taiwan, more than two to one.

Comparing the strength of the troops, this guy has a big appetite and is thinking of fighting a war of annihilation.

But the Japanese carrier-based aircraft that followed were also a large fleet of more than 180 fighter jets. Taken together, the number of fighter jets was only slightly less than Le Yiqin’s fleet. The appetite was so big that it would burst the belly.

, In Tang Qiuli's plan, the fleet's two carrier-based aircraft flying groups belong to the battle reserve and will not be used until the critical moment, not to mention that they have to deal with the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet.

At this point, Le Yiqin must be reminded. Tang Qiuli said: "Le Yiqin, your opponent is not only the Japanese fighter group from Taiwan, but also the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group coming through the airspace of the Sulawesi Sea. About

More than 180 aircraft, the radar station reports that it will arrive in the airspace of the Strait of Malacca in about 40 minutes. You cooked a table of dishes and two groups of guests came. Be careful to avoid the guests."

Tang Qiuli just reminded Le Yiqin of the general battlefield situation. He let Le Yiqin, a veteran who had fought all the way from the Northeast, arrange the specific air combat arrangements. What's more, Tang Qiuli believed that he had more experience and ability in commanding air combat.

, he is no better than Le Yiqin. He is very glad that he was careful and asked the entire Southern Flying Group to dispatch, otherwise, he would be very passive now.

Hearing the situation reported by Tang Qiuli, Le Yiqin laughed loudly and said nonchalantly: "Please rest assured, sir, our table is big enough to accommodate another wave of people. My specific arrangements are as follows. The first

The second echelon was divided into two, and half of the fighters joined the first echelon to form a force advantage against the Japanese fighter group in Taiwan. The other half went forward to the airspace of Kalimantan Island to proactively fight against the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group.

Is it appropriate, please give instructions from the teacher?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Le Yiqin, when did you become humble? You are already a veteran in air combat. What other instructions do I have? I only ask for one thing. No matter how you fight, you must ensure that the fleet can defeat the Japanese army."

The operation of the Third Fleet is successful. In addition, the two carrier-based aircraft flying groups of the fleet, as reserve units, are placed under your command, and all the winged assets of the ** Division abroad are handed over to you!"

Le Yiqin heard the weight of the division commander's words, and became more aware of the weight of the burden on her shoulders. If this battle is not fought well, it will affect the overall situation. First, the fleet will be severely damaged, and secondly, the Little Japanese's third fleet will be severely damaged.

It is also very possible to take the opportunity to slip away. As for the losses to the Southern Flying Group, it will be immeasurable.

Le Yiqin put away her careless tone and said with unprecedented solemnity: "I, Le Yiqin, promise to the commander that even if the Southern Flying Group is exhausted, they will not let one of the Little Devil's fighter jets appear above the fleet.

The Japanese want to eat my plane, but these bastards haven't grown such good teeth yet." There was no passionate tone, no royal words, only the courage to fight to the death and the confidence to win.

Tang Qiuli's heart felt hot, and he only said two words, "Take care!" For such a commander, there is no need to say anything more. Fighting has become the only important way in their lives, and the flames of war have been with them throughout their youth.

, Le Yiqin is like this, Feng Jiwu is like this, and all the officers and soldiers of the *** division are like this, including himself.

Putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli still seemed unable to calm down his mood. The heat in his heart surged and roared in his blood vessels, turning into a desire to fight, making his passion uncontrollable. An unprecedented large-scale air battle was about to begin. This

It will be a decisive air battle to determine air supremacy in this area.

He said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, in the airspace of the Strait of Malacca, there was a big air battle that we did not need. After this battle is over, not only in Indochina, but also in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, the strength of the Japanese air force will

It will be weakened to the lowest point, and we should also take action on the ground. This guy Ito has been comfortable for too long, and Chutian and the others should also be allowed to come out and breathe."

Tang Qiusheng nodded. He very much agreed with Tang Qiuli's order. In fact, in the past few days, he had been planning an action to launch a substantial attack on Yangon, push the front to the outskirts of Yangon city, and lure Yangon.

The Japanese defenders engaged in constant battles. During the battle, the Japanese troops were consumed and created favorable conditions for the general offensive.

Originally, Tang Qiusheng wanted to wait until the battle to capture the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet was over before launching an attack on Yangon. Now it seems that the battlefield in Southeast Asia has been divided into three parts. The air battle in the Malacca Strait, the capture of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet

, Attacking Yangon, these three battlefields are relatively independent, but they all break out around the central point of Yangon. Plans to block attacks on the periphery of Yangon a few days in advance or postponed have little impact on the overall war situation.

.

Tang Qiusheng said to Tang Qiuli: "Okay, I will arrange it immediately. In about an hour, we can launch an attack on Yangon. Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang both complained. If we continue to wait like this, the troops will almost get sick."

, By the way, Marine Corps Commander Han Tie called, they have made all preparations to capture Hainan Island and are waiting for the order from the division commander."

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Call Han Tie back, continue the pre-war preparations, and wait for orders." Then he said to Tang Qiusheng: "The Japanese troops on Hainan Island are already ripe fruits that will fall off as soon as they are touched. We can do it at any time."

You can go pick it. Now, the fighting has been lively enough. Let’s start it at the same time as the Yangon General Offensive. What do you think, Brother Qiusheng?”

Tang Qiusheng nodded and returned: "Hainan Island is in a direct direction, and the attack time will be sooner or later, so it won't be a big problem. Furthermore, without a fleet to cover the landing on the island, the casualties will be greater. We will wait until the air battle in the Malacca Strait and the Third Fleet are completed.

After that, it will be safer and I have no objection.”

Tang Qiuli, the commander of the ** Division, had a good idea of ​​the situation on several battlefields. MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian and Pacific Theater of the US Army who was still in Kalimantan, stared at what was happening in the Strait of Malacca with wide eyes and felt uneasy.

, fear and excitement, many emotions intertwined together, making him uneasy.

He told Chief of Staff General Stilwell: "The Chinese and Japanese have gone crazy and concentrated all the land, sea and air forces in this area in a decisive battle posture. My God, nearly two thousand fighter planes and bombers, and...

There are three fleets from both sides, it’s incredible, these crazy Easterners, what are they going to do?”

Such a situation was originally what MacArthur wanted to see the most. However, the development of the war situation and the military power used by China and Japan far exceeded his imagination. MacArthur was afraid. He was playing with fire between the two major forces in Southeast Asia. Moreover,

This was a bit too much, and he might end up burning himself in the head. The scale and intensity of the battle were beyond his control.

He issued stern orders to all U.S. military units. The planes were to enter the hangar, all the artillery was temporarily evacuated from their positions, and all soldiers and officers were not to leave the barracks, otherwise bullets and shells from both sides of the war would fall on their heads.

, also stand up, in one word, recognize the bear! Those who disobey military orders will be severely punished. Tang Qiuli and the Japanese will be beaten with red eyes, and MacArthur will vomit blood with a casual blow.

At about six o'clock in the morning, the Le Yiqin fleet encountered the Japanese Seventeenth Air Force in the airspace 300 kilometers east of the Strait of Malacca. The air battle entered a fierce stage as soon as it began. The Japanese Seventeenth Air Force has always been stationed on Taiwan Island.

, known as one of the most elite aviation teams of the Japanese Army, naturally carries an arrogant air. It has never fought against the aircraft fleet of the Japanese Army. Of course, it does not know how powerful these aerial killers under Le Yiqin are.

place.

The airborne radar of the ** Division's fighter jets once again exerted an incomparable advantage. It discovered the enemy first, occupied a favorable altitude first, and launched an attack before the Japanese 17th Air Force fleet. As soon as the fleets of the two sides fought, they launched real fire.

, launched a fierce aerial battle, the South China Sea airspace, and the blue sky were full of fighter jets chasing each other with tongues of fire.

From time to time, fighter jets exploded into clouds of smoke, or dragged long black smoke and fell to the sea. The driving skills of Japanese pilots were first-rate, but in terms of actual combat experience, they were much inferior to those of the pilots of the Southern Flying Group.

, in less than thirty minutes of fighting, the Japanese Seventeenth Air Force lost more than eighty fighter jets, and Le Yiqin's first-echelon fleet also paid the price of being shot down more than twenty fighter jets.

If the dawn of November 20, 1940, were condensed together, a battlefield filled with smoke would have formed, stretching from the Strait of Malacca to the skies over the South China Sea, from the sky to the ocean, and then to the ground.

It became the most intense naval and air battle in Southeast Asia.
